AWS mediaconnect: Rename OutputBitrate metric to OutputBitRate and add units

Service: mediaconnect · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: mediaconnect/latest/ug/monitor-with-cloudwatch-metrics-output-health.md

Summary

Corrected the CloudWatch metric name from OutputBitrate to OutputBitRate in output-health tables and notes, and added 'Units: Count' to the OutputConnectedReceivers, OutputGeneratedAudioSamples, and OutputGeneratedVideoFrames metric descriptions.

Security assessment

The changes are metric-name casing corrections and unit annotations for CloudWatch output-health metrics; they contain no guidance about authentication, encryption, exposure, or any specific weakness.

Evidence

-`OutputBitrate` |  The bitrate of the outgoing (output) video.  This metric applies to outputs that use the SRT protocols or output to MediaLive. Units: bits per second (bps) Valid dimensions:

-For example, in a 30 Mbps stream with repetitive content (like a black slate), either optimization might reduce the bitrate to 5 Mbps. These bitrate fluctuations are normal and don't affect content quality, but they might be noticeable in your bitrate monitoring.Additionally, the `OutputBitrate` value can vary depending on the selected protocol due to non-payload packets, retransmitted packets, packet headers, and other protocol-specific packets. Due to these factors, the bitrate value reported by this metric might vary between outputs.
